Joint Multi-platform Advanced Combat ID (JMAC)

JMAC will provide government-owned software that can be integrated into any sensor or Command and Control (C2) system to provide real-time identification of air threats, including Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), cruise missiles, rotary wing, military jets, and general aviation.

Partners: NORAD-USNORTHCOM, DHS, MIT-LL, U.S. Army AMRDEC, U.S. Army CMDS, SMDC, AFRL, JIAMDO

Outcome: • JMAC will be integrated into the NCR-Integrated Air

Defense System (NCR-IADS) Program Office

• Upgrades to the Improved-Sentinel radar, Enhanced Regional Situational Awareness (ERSA), and the Joint Air Defense Operations Center (JADOC) will occur in 2017

• JMAC will substantially improve the identification of non-cooperative targets much earlier in the kill-chain, which will increase decision space for senior leaders and increase available engagement distance between threats and defensed assets/critical infrastructure

2018 Areas of Concentration

Asymmetric Force ApplicationThe use of nontraditional technologies, tactics, logistics enablers, and asymmetric

approaches (e.g. autonomous/intelligent systems, human-machine combat teaming, low

cost autonomous assets, and disaggregated weapons systems) to provide a clear military

advantage to our forces during maneuver and engagement operations.

Electromagnetic Spectrum Maneuver (EMSM) The use of capabilities and technologies to maneuver freely in the EMS for offensive and

defensive operations in multiple domains. Maneuverability requires gaining and

maintaining access to spectrum, denying and/or degrading spectrum to our adversaries,

and conducting EMS deception operations. Intelligent systems and novel computational

architectures and approaches will accelerate and automate time critical decision making to

enable optimized and resilient exploitation of the EMS.

ISR and Counter-ISRTechnologies to enhance the resiliency, reach, and flexibility of ISR systems through low-

cost manufacturing, attritable systems, autonomy, cooperation at scale, on-board

processing, and improved sensors.

Information Operations and Analytics (IO&A)Efficiently and accurately exploit information collection and analytics technologies for

seamless Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED) of all-source data and

information as well as multi-domain Command and Control across Services, Combatant

Commands, and Partner Forces.

S&ET Conference

• What are you trying to do? Articulate your objectives using

absolutely no jargon.

• How is it done today, and what are the limits of current

practice?

• What is new in your approach and why do you think it will

be successful?

• Who cares? If you succeed, what difference will it make?

• What are the risks?

• How much will it cost?

• How long will it take?

• What are the mid-term and final “exams” to check for

success?
